Filtration

Combustion Engines, mobile and stationary, require extensive maintenance to change lubricating oil on a routine basis. Engines provide the most extreme conditions for lubricating oil, water, particulate contamination, extreme heat, and the introduction of air. As a result, the oil oxidizes much quicker than in fluid power systems and requires frequent oil replacement. Maintaining heavy mobile equipment in the mining industry can consume up to 70% of their total maintenance budget.

Large stationary turbo charged engines, used in the natural gas pipeline industry, consume up to 40% of their maintenance budget maintaining their equipment. Due to the formation of soot in diesel engines, typical oil drains are performed every 250 to 300 hours. The result of oxidation and nitration in natural gas engines typical oil drains are performed every 1000  to 1200 hours. Our filtration systems have been proven to extend oil drain intervals in diesel engines from 250 hours to over 1200 hours. Filmax is now installed on CAT 3500 and CAT 3600 engines and oil drains have been extended to over 3000 hours.

A process utilizing Filmax on CAT 3500’s with recriprocating compressors are currently extending oil drains to 8000 hours. Side Stream Filtration has also shown to extend engine overhaul intervals to well over 60000 hours.Marine engine applications are critical to maintain and ensure equipment reliability. Fleets of bulk carriers, freighters, tankers and general cargo carriers are aging and require maintenance. Fluid power systems are under a great deal of stress due to the natural environment of being on the water. Ocean vessels travel far over the high seas and have deadlines to meet or ports of call. Once vessels make their port of call, they have limited time stripping (removing cargo) and stuffing (loading cargo) their product.

This industry deals with the following problem on a regular basis due to fluid contamination:

* Particle and Water Contamination in Vital Fluid Power Systems:Steering Gear HydraulicsCargo Remote OperationsOn Ship Cranes
* Sea Water/ Condensed Water Contamination: Stern Tube SystemsThruster Systems
* Wear Particle Contamination:Deck Hydraulic UnitsAnchor Winches.

Portable Filtration Carts for Fuels and Hydraulic Oils




Combust's Portable and Stationary Filtration Systems are the heaviest duty and highest quality of such products on the market today. Constructed of carbon or stainless cold rolled 3/8” steel with ½” steel plate for their base, top plates, and lid covers. Combust Filtration Systems will provide years of trouble free service no matter how rugged the treatment they receive is. Powered by either air motor or electric motor the pumps on Combust filtration equipment are built to last even under the most rugged and hazardous of conditions.

Built strong yet easy to maneuver there is no filtration job that is too small or too large for Combust Filtration Systems that range from 2 GPM to 30 GPM. And when used with Combust's new Patented Technology (Water Guard) Water Removing Filters, this equipment can remove particulate to as small as ½ micron and even the emulsified water that forms in transformer oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, gasoline and diesel fuel. And will do so whether the oil or gasoline is held in large storage tanks or in transformers that are still on the pole.
 
With Combust's new Patented Filter Technology these filtration systems can remove even the suspended water that forms in alcohol-blended gasoline storage tanks, even if the gasoline contains E-85 levels of alcohol.
LYNWAY Filtration by Combustion Technologies

FINALLY! A FILTER VESSEL THAT DOES THE WORK OF TWO

Traditional methods of filtering particulates and removing water from hydrocarbons where the dirt load was expected to be a problem would require two filter housings. One was needed for the removal of solid particulates, and another vessel for removing the water. The Lynway three stage system eliminates the need for two vessels by incorporating both functions in one vessel.

The unique design isolates the incoming product from the coalescer section until it has passed through a high flow, high dirt holding prefilter element rated at the desired micron retention. The prefiltered product then passes through the coalescer-separator section free from particulates that can easily plug the coalescer element and shorten its life. Coalescing occurs when the product passes through very small openings in the fiberglass and forming the water into droplets, therefore the purpose of the coalescer is to remove water, not dirt.
